  • Evaluation of the torsion test for determining the shear strength of structural lumber

    Creator:
    Heck, Leanne Renee
    Abstract:
    The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

  • Engineering properties of Oregon and Washington coast range soils

    Creator:
    Alto, Jalmer V.
    Abstract:
    Landslides are frequent in the steep forested regions of the Oregon and Washington coastal mountain ranges. The need for forest products has resulted in increasing logging activity in these marginally stable areas. The occurrence of landslides has increased, which in turn has focused greater interest in slope stability management. Of...

  • Development of a test procedure for water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures

    Creator:
    Al-Swailmi, Saleh H.
    Abstract:
    Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested in...

  • Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

    Creator:
    Qiu, Yingqing
    Abstract:
    Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...

  • Evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure

    Creator:
    Lavansiri, Direk
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway structure is made. The study includes a parametric analy sis using layered elastic theory and a series of large scale model tests. The parametric. study analyzes the stresses and strains of roadway structures with a fabric layer between tna surface layer and...

  • Wave interaction with rubble mound structures

    Creator:
    Yoo, Chul-hee
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study is the development and verification of an analytical solution for an unsteady flow field partially occupied by a permeable structure. Flow is induced by a small amplitude incident wave train and the permeable structure may contain multilayered anisotropic but homogeneous material. The analytical solution developed...

  • Elevated Temperature Effects on the Shear Performance of a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Wall-to-Floor Bracket Connection

    Creator:
    Mahr, Kolton J.
    Abstract:
    Connections in mass timber structural systems dissipate energy and transfer lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls and diaphragms, providing critical load paths. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent mass timber material used to manufacture wall and floor assemblies. Fire performance research of CLT walls and floors...

  • Practical modeling for load paths in a realistic, light-frame wood house

    Creator:
    Pfretzschner, Kathryn S.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to develop and validate practical modeling methods for investigating load paths and system behavior in a realistic, light-frame wood structure. The modeling methods were validated against full-scale tests on subassemblies and an L-shaped house. The model of the L-shaped house was then modified and...

  • Structural Response of High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites: Evaluation, Simulation, and Sensitivity Analysis

    Creator:
    Khlef, Feras L.
    Abstract:
    The constitutive behavior of high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs) under mechanical loading is characterized by significant tensile properties that play an essential role in the structural response of several applications in structural engineering. The significance of tensile properties of HPFRCCs in structural engineering is the focus of three manuscripts presented...

  • Engineering properties of Southeast Alaskan forest soils

    Creator:
    Filz, George
    Abstract:
    The strength of both undisturbed and compacted soils from 10 sites in the slide-prone Tongass National Forest in SE Alaska were studied. Index property tests were also conducted on disturbed samples. The index tests included natural water content, Atterberg Limits, specific gravity of solids, grain size distribution, and moisture-density relationship....
